All Chapters of A Million Dates : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

A week had gone by, Bart and Lola spent time submitting their resumes to different companies.Apart from being a musical genius, Bart was a business analysis and could also work as an IT guy, throughout his years in school; he spent time learning acquiring different skills so he knew how to do a lot of things.Two companies in need of an analyst had sent him response emails and he was to attend two interviews in one day.After waking up and preparing, he had a hard time picking what to wear so he called Lola on video. Surprisingly, she already knew almost all his clothes so she gave him a solution almost immediately. She handpicked the suit as well as the shirt and tie. He dressed up and went out of his house. An uber was already waiting up front for him.Meanwhile Lola was having the worst morning ever, after a week of actively submitting applications to different companies, she didn’t get a single response. Despite being more sports inclined, Lola studied health and she was a food s

Bart was confused and worried at the same time. Lola and Vanessa weren’t two people that usually saw eye to eye. So why the sudden call, and why the sudden disappearance of Lola?“This is all too urgent, I don’t like the urgency of this. It’s something that makes me nervous”Bart put Lola’s phone in his pocket and left the apartment.Lola on the other hand, had gotten to her destination. A place she hasn’t been in forever She stood at the closed train station as a cool breeze graced her face, causing feelings of nostalgia to rush in.“Has it really been that long?” Lola said, brushing some strands of hair behind her ears from her face.“It’s quite shameful that I no longer know the way to my mom’s house, come to think of it, I’ve been here only a handful of times”Lola’s childhood wasn’t one she liked remembering, she often thinks that without Bart, her childhood would have been even more depressing than it already is.The year Lola graduated from high school, Her mother broke the n

The atmosphere inside of the taxi was a particularly uncomfortable one for Lola.Diane sat next to Lola at the back seat of the taxi, She tapped her phone unconcerned about the person sitting next to her.Lola’s demeanor was calm and quiet at this point, she had no words. She had realized that maybe she was the problem, maybe she was the reason for the issues between Vanessa and herself.“I wonder if things would be different if I just acted a bit mature that day” she muttered silently.“I guess we’ll never know”Diane who appeared to be busy with her phone at first, gave a rather swift reply.“How is she?”Lola was on the verge of breaking down into tears but she held herself.“It’s not looking good, mom has…cancer”Diane put down her phone on her lap and placed her right hand on Lola’s shoulder.Lola could no longer hold back the tears, she placed her head against her half sister’s shoulder and cried bitterly.The taxi driver raised his eyes to the mirror, he felt pity even if he co

“oh what’s that look I see on your face?” Vanessa says as she gives a sly smile.“What look are you talking about? I don’t know about anything, how did Bart even come into the picture?” Lola asked. At this point she had been avoiding eye contact with her mother.“Look honey, if you’ve had a man follow you around as long as that young man has been around you, chances are that he’s in love with you and he doesn’t know. Either that or he knows but for some reason he can’t tell you. Maybe fear of ruining the friendship in the likely event where you aren’t interested.” Vanessa said.Lola scoffed and put both hands on her hips. “you don’t know Bart like I do, Mom. I think if he was in love with me I’d know after all these years.”Vanessa cleared her throat and closed her eyes. “well, maybe I’m wrong about him feeling something for you. But then again, what about you? What do you honestly feel for him?”Lola was taken by surprise. She was used to freezing or getting defensive whenever she wa

Lola was still at a loss for words as Bart stood in front of her. They stared each other passionately. There was no speaking, their eyes said everything there was to be said.Tears dripped down Lola’s face as she hugged Bart tightly.“You came, you son of a bitch, how dare you decide me” She said. She was laughing and crying at the same time. Eventually Bart started laughing too.“I’m sorry I did that, I was already on my way when you called. I wasn’t going to ruin the surprise for any reason.” Bart said.They broke the embrace and Bart wiped the tears off her face.“That’s what makes me so happy, you just noticed my absence and you immediately set out to find me. Mr. Adamson, you’re so obsessed, it’s almost like you can’t do without me” Lola said, she had a sly smile on her face.“Keep dreaming, Janette. I’m just here because we made a promise. I’ll have you know that I’m the type of man that keeps his promises” Bart said.“huh, I see. Well, I think that’s really cool. Look at you go
